GLEASON & GLEASON

In *Gleason & Gleason*, heard before Judge Altobelli, the dispute concerned the alteration of property interests between a husband and wife. The proceedings involved the assessment of the parties' respective contributions and future needs to determine a just and equitable property settlement.

The court was required to determine the appropriate division of the parties' assets and liabilities, taking into account their financial and non-financial contributions throughout the relationship, as well as their respective future needs and circumstances. The overarching objective was to achieve an order that was just and equitable in all the circumstances.

Judge Altobelli's reasoning focused on a holistic assessment of the evidence presented regarding the parties' contributions and future needs. The court applied established principles of family law to weigh these factors, aiming to achieve a fair outcome that reflected both past contributions and future capacity. The specific orders made by the court directed the parties to submit agreed Minutes of Order within a specified timeframe, or in the alternative, to submit their own proposed Minutes if agreement could not be reached. The matter was then adjourned for further proceedings.
